Gamefly sent me The Devil May Cry HD Collection this week so I thought I'd try it while I take a break from grinding in Ni No Kuni. Think I managed 3 stages in DMC1 before I gave up in disgust. I'm pretty sure I beat the game years ago, but the camera is terrible, the HD work is spotty at best, all the interstitial images and cut scenes are horrible, I'm constantly getting caught in the environment. I just don't have the patience for that kind of crap anymore and nostalgia isn't enough to forgive the game for aging so badly. DMC2 is cleaner and the camera while still dodgy isn't nearly as hair pullingly frustrating, the HD is better, and the environments in the first 5 stages or so aren't filled with annoying things to get caught on. It also plays a lot better, though it's pretty antiquated now.

Man I ain't that good but it would've been fun . Think i may make a Fifa thread, I'm undecided lol

I know very little about the MLS but I might just keep an eye out for the Seattle Sounders now lol

Whenever I play, even online, I always go my team Rangers. Gets annoying that people always pick 5 star teams, but if you play the head to head league you get matched up with someone with an evenly matched team so that was pretty cool

I don't keep up with it too much, mainly because it can be hard to catch one being played on TV (I rarely browse away from a few select channels). I remember watching their first few games though and their fans were exciting. They also have their own marching band and season ticket holders get a vote for some management (I think I read they do something similar to Barcelona).

When I used to play with friends we would end up picking random teams that were similar in ratings, because otherwise we'd end up as Manchester United versus Chelsea or Barcelona versus Real Madrid. Sometimes with new people we'd pick lesser known teams with a standout player like CSKA Moscow (Honda) and Flamengo (Ronaldinho). It was always a laugh to hear them say "dang it man, you got lucky".

Been an Xbox gamer all this gen, a week before the xbox one reveal I had a bad feeling about microsoft and proceeded to purchase a second hand PS3 off ebay as I have for a long time wanted to try the exclusive titles I hear so much about on forums etc that Xbox cant play.

I am now playing Uncharted 2 and am completely addicted which sucks because I am in the middle of exams

Yeah i can relate man, because of financial reasons i only really follow my team on the TV, on the rare occasions it's shown.

I know that both Barcelona and Real Madrid vote in the President of the club, and I think maybe some Italian clubs too but I could be wrong on that.

Glad to hear you mix it up, think it gets boring if you play as 5 star teams constantly.

It kind of sucks here since the closest MLS team is ~4 hours away in Dallas, as opposed to when I lived in California in which case there was LA Galaxy and Chivas USA at least. So now instead of a simple bus/metro ride it's 8 hours worth of gas and meals as well as the tickets. Chivas' game against Seattle on Saturday would cost maybe $30 (ticket plus transportation).

And it's funny, when I do want to mess around and play as Germany versus say a team ranked in the 70s, it's hard for me to score and play as well as I do when I'm a lower ranked team. Half my shots are completely off target. I guess I just get used to those lower skills so adjusting shots to suit them. The other plus is since I'm not playing 5 star team against another 5 star team, the opposing players don't know every dribbling skill possible.

Yeah that does suck mate, do they show a lot of european football over there though?

I can't say I have that problem! Lol you ever played any of the Pro Evolution games? (Think they're called something different over there). Considering buying Pro Evo 2013 on the Vita tomorrow but haven't played a Pro Evo game for years

We get a good bit. Between Fox Soccer Channel and GOL TV there's always something on. FSC usually has the European teams (and Sky Sports) and GOL has South American and Bundesliga.

I've only ever played a demo of it, I think it was the PES 2013 one. Couldn't really judge how good it was because I kept trying to figure out controls. I'm watching the new Arrested Development episodes right now, but I think later I'll give it another try.

I've since replayed the demo and I didn't find it any better than FIFA. Maybe I'm just too used to it though. The only positive I saw was that AI teammates make more runs (which is something I'm sure I could adjust with sliders).

And for the life of me I couldn't see anywhere in the demo that showed you controls. Who does that?

Can't you go in to the options and see what the button layout is from there? Dumb move by Konami if you can't do that! From memory, you shoot by using square but that's all i remember and that's if it's still the same lol

Over the years I have read that Pro Evo is meant to have the more realistic game style of the two. Always opted for fifa though because with the sliders it plays pretty decent and it has all the fully licensed kits

I tried looking everywhere and couldn't see anything. All the controls were weird, I think only X to pass and TRIANGLE for a through ball were the same from FIFA. I liked that you could hold L2 and get an arrow marker for which direction you would shoot/pass.

What game are you playing right now?

Maybe not in the demo, but surely there must be a way to change the controls in the options menu so you can set it up like Fifa if you wish

Football Manager! Now that's one of those games I could spend all day on, love them

Yea I'm sure it's in the full game (if not someone deserves to slap them).

With the talk of football managing, did they ever fix those manager issues with 13? I think it's on 12 that you get the negative amount for doing nothing wrong. I always loved it in the past games, upgrading the stadium and assistants, then this game was a letdown.

Hopefully 14 brings back the fun of that mode.

I've been trying to decide what to do with Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution. I never play them anymore and considering trading them in towards NCAA Football 14. It would surely hold me over until I could get FIFA 14 on PS4. I already have Platinum on Hitman and I know I'm not going to mess with FC3 online.

EDIT: Well, I pulled the trigger. Went in and thought about getting BF3, but figured I'd just put it all towards NCAA 14. Now I need to go back and get that and GTA V reserved/paid off and I'll be good.

Off FIFA for a while, getting used to (American) football again.

I've never had negative amount even in 12, so yeah guess they've fixed. I still love the thrill of building up your own team in Manager Mode. Always go for players with 85+ sprint speed and acceleration and build a fast, attack minded side.

Did you trade in Far Cry 3 and Hitman? And are you getting fifa 14 on the ps3 or waiting until the ps4 comes out?
